Is there any way to get Media Center 9 to create a playlist which automatically updates with the top 25 most listened too songs on my Ipod?

W/R to the two copies: If you do a full restore, initialize, and then synch with the latest version of MC9, all will be well.With regard to the playlist: there are a couple of ways to do this. I'm not at a place where I can try it out, but one very nice way (or at least the easiest way I can think of) would be to make a smartlist with a limit of 25, and sort by playcounts. The limit of 25 is not a problem, but the sort by playcounts might be--I'd have to try it at home (Adam--thinking of using sort by playcounts similar to using sort by name--using sort by playcounts should put the highest playcount tunes on top of the list, and 25 should limit the number). If this works, it would be a VERY easy smartlist to create...

From the Top Hits smartlist:[number plays]=>0 ~seq=[number plays] ~sort=[seq]-d ~n=100
This can be modified to read:
[number plays]=>0 ~seq=[number plays] ~sort=[seq]-d ~n=25 [Media Type]=[Audio]
for the top 25 audio tracks. You can also add [Last Played]=<=10080 to get your top 25 hits of the week.

I find using the wizard easier (personally)Add Modifier>Limit (set to 25 songs)
Add Modifier>Sorting (you have to type in "[number plays]-d"--no quotes
